"Everyone is the protagonist of their own story."

"Bro, you've reincarnated and remarried your past life's husband, who is also the son of the Grim Reaper and took over when the Grim Reaper retired, and you're a powerful spellcaster at the tender age of day one of young adulthood, and you're really fucking rich and live in a huge mansion with your grandfather who is the most famous celebrity in the world, and you're hot as fuck. The Mary Sue traits are just piling up."

"The what?"

"Don't worry about it. I wonder if there are other super interesting people like that and I just haven't run into them." He wonders if Zachary and his entire goddamn family were inserted into the world by the simulators just to rub the fact that there's literally nothing Peter can do to change his ultimate fate in his face. "Did Eric also reincarnate, did you guys know each other in a past life?"

"I think so, he's mysteriously familiar, but I don't know how we knew each other."

"...mysterious. So your memories are, like, foggy and stuff?"

"Yeah. I don't remember a lot."

"But you remembered Alexei. Did he remember you?"

"Yeah! Because we're soulmates."

"...cute."

"Thanks."

"No, thank you for the conversation. Maybe I should just be less quick to freak out about stuff." And now he has learned of another way to avoid death! A cheap way, even!

"Always happy to help, buddy."
